Posted: 18 Oct 2011 10:16 AM PDT 2011/10/18 The two-day Tupperware Carnival in Danga City Mall was a weekend of charity, games and knowledge-sharing IT was a weekend of charity, games and sharing of knowledge at the Tupperware Carnival held at the EXPO at the Danga City Mall in Johor Baru recently. The two-day carnival featured health checks, beauty tips, and pointers for healthy living and space conservation.
Participants had to use Tupperware products as tools in their games and winners were rewarded with Tupperware products as prizes. There was a sale on water containers near the entrance to the carnival. Proceeds from the sale were channeled to charitable organisations.
The ticket for each game was RM2 and proceeds went to the Tupperware Children's Fund. Visitors had plenty of fun playing the games and winning prizes.
Tupperware Brands Malaysia Sdn Bhd marketing director Christine Wong said maximising the use of space is important today as kitchens are getting smaller. "More often than not, households have messy kitchens as there are too many things to store, but there is insufficient storage space. "During the carnival, we taught the public how to transform an untidy kitchen into a tidy one, where there is no need to waste time looking for items," she said. Another booth showed visitors how to maximise the use of space inside a refrigerator. Using Tupperware's latest product line, called the Freezer Mates, containers of various designs and sizes were used to store different types of items inside a refrigerator's freezer. Visitors were impressed with the products' designs, which provide maximum airflow to ensure faster freezing and thawing. For those who were health conscious, the next booth showcased food supplements with samples for the public. There were also free blood pressure and BMI checks. Other booths featured skincare products and the Nano Nature Water Filtration System. Another section highlighted past corporate social responsibility projects organised by the Tupperware company over the years. The latest project raised RM270,000 for the Japan Quake and Tsunami Fund from sales of Tupperware products. The Tupperchef corner demonstrated the use of cookware. At the centre of the EXPO was a cylindrical tunnel with a mural of clear water flowing on the walls and floor. This structure was a prelude to the demonstration of the water filtration system marketed by the company. Wong said the idea for the carnival was to create awareness of Tupperware's range of products, including products which were friendly to the environment, such as their Eco Bottles. "This is the first time we are hosting a carnival in Johor Baru. The response is overwhelming and we look forward to coming here again next year," she said. Full content generated by Get Full RSS. |
